I'resuyierian vjnurcn in me uniiea maies
does authoritatively declare, with reference
to Chapter 10 Section 3 that it is
not to be regarded as teaching that any

the election of grace and are regenerated
and saved by Christ through the Spirit
who works when and where and how He
pleases.

WHO WILL HELP TO RESTORE THIS
CHURCH BUILDING?
These two pictures represent the Hungarian
Church at Arpadhon, a Magyar
colony in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, in
iis present uamageu condition. As will
be seen, the building is all out of plumb.
It was blown from its brick foundation
and is now resting on the uneven ground.
It will cost $250 to restore it to its former
condition. This is the only Hungarian
Church south of the Ohio river. It is
under the jurisdiction of New Orleans
Presbytery. The members are truck
farmers, none of them have any wealth.
They have shown their faith by erecting
this handsome building which was dedicated
only eighteen months ago. They
have pledged themselves to raise $50 by
the time they harvest their next, straw
berry crop. Churches and individuals in
New Orleans and elsewhere have so far
contributed about $100. Therefore $100
needs to be raised. Who will help to do
it? It is a worthy cause which should
appeal to all who believe that the foreigners
in our midst should be evangelized.
The following contributions received to
date are acknowledged with thanks:

The Bible is still much more in demand
than any other book. The Oxford Press,
the "Sunday at Home" states, turns out
20,000 Bibles in a week. More than 40,000
sheets of gold are used in lettering
the volumes, and 100,000 skins go into
Oxford Bible covers each year. Tht
British and Foreign Bible Society prints
the Bible In four hundred languages
During the first year of America's rule
in the Philippines, 10,700 Bibles ware
distributed there. Contrary to expectations
since the Boxer insurrection in
China, the Issues of Bibles for China last
year were 42R.OOO copies. The fact is.
the Bible today is the most popular book
in the world, and more copies are sold
than of any other hundred boohs com- i
